Chapter 96 Before the Meeting

Zhao Gongbo also came to the village more than half an hour earlier.

Anyway, he was here alone, if he came earlier, he might be able to meet the bully before the meeting. It seemed that only the bully could help solve his troubles.

Several village chiefs came to the conference room one after another.

There are still about [-] minutes before the agreed meeting start time, so waiting is just waiting, why not gossip to pass the time.One of the village chiefs spoke first, and then three or five village chiefs followed suit, and the conference room became lively in an instant.

At present, the most popular gossip in Shigang Township is the beating of Director Fang Da. For a while, multiple versions of this incident were spit out from the mouths of the village chiefs.

However, no matter which version, a big villain is indispensable.

The bully of Gangnan Village.

From a common sense, Gangdong Village is the closest to Gangnan Village, and there is a feud between the two villages. Village Chief Zhao Gongbo must have more information about bullies, and he should be happy to share it with everyone.

However, the reality is just the opposite.

Zhao Gongbo never said a word. In the end, he even left the conference room with the excuse of going to the bathroom to pee.

"What happened to Village Chief Zhao? Are you scared by that bully?"

The rough voice who raised the question was the head of Jiang Village, Daping Village, located in the west of Shigang Township.

As its name suggests, Daping Village is really big. There are nearly [-] people in the village, and it has more than [-] acres of arable land. In terms of scale, it is firmly in the top spot in Shigang Township.

But the village has another major feature, poverty.

I don’t know what’s wrong. Other people’s land can earn 200 yuan per mu of land a year. In a relatively wealthy village like Gangdong and Gangnan, they can get 300 yuan per mu of land on average.

The township attaches great importance to Daping Village, and Tian Shaowu has spent a lot of time on them. Every year, he invites agricultural experts from the county to guide their cultivation carefully, but the final result is that every year Daping Village disappoints people from all walks of life.

No matter how barren the land is, it will not be so barren!

When Tian Shaowu took office, he judged that it should be a human problem, and he had thought about changing people, but he was stillborn before the plan was implemented.

Village Chief Jiang's prestige in Daping Village is not ordinary. Chen Cangwei and Zhao Gongbo's prestige in the family of his surname is not as good as that of Village Chief Jiang Da.

It is said that almost no one in Daping Village knows the name of Village Chief Jiang.

Just like in Gangnan Village, when a bully is mentioned, even a three-year-old child knows who it is, but if it is Yang Rui, half of them will shake their heads.

But the village chiefs in the meeting room can still call Village Chief Jiang by his name.

Village Chief Jiang's name is Jiang Hongliang, he is only a few years younger than Seventh Uncle, and he also went to the battlefield to make military exploits when he was young.

Zhao Gongbo clearly heard Village Chief Jiang's ridicule, but he pretended to be deaf and dumb, ignoring the ridicule of other village chiefs in the conference room, and walked out of the conference room quickly.

As soon as he went out, he saw the bully boy walking towards a beautiful girl, talking and laughing.

Zhao Gongbo's complexion suddenly became a little ugly.

Why did this kid suddenly become ignorant?
Knowing that you won a decisive victory in the battle with Chen Cangwei, wouldn't you be so cocky?

This is the township government. We came here to attend the meeting of the new township head. You guys are so lucky that you are blatantly flirting with girls. If the new township head sees this, how embarrassing it will be?

Yang Rui also saw Zhao Gongbo, said something to the pretty girl, and then waved at Zhao Gongbo.

Zhao Gongbo was very confused.

Uncle Zhao can understand that you need a light bulb to pick up girls. But, Uncle Zhao, I am so old. Is it suitable to be your light bulb?

With an old face on his face, Zhao Gongbo pretended not to see Yang Rui's greeting.

Yang Rui didn't want to let Zhao Gongbo go, so he yelled directly: "Village Chief Zhao, what do you mean? You don't want to see Village Chief Shi, do you?"

Zhao Gongbo's head exploded with a bang.

This pretty girl is actually the newly appointed mayor?

How can it be!

In a trance, Shi Xiuli had already arrived in front of her and extended her hand to Zhao Gongbo: "Mr. Zhao Gongbo of Gangdong Village, I have long admired your name. I am the newly transferred acting head, Shi Xiuli."

Zhao Gongbo hastily wiped his hands on his clothes, and then held Shi Xiuli's hand respectfully: "Master Shi Xiang, I, I don't know Mount Tai..."

Shi Xiuli smiled slightly and said, "I didn't expect that I was a woman, did you?"

Zhao Gongbo nodded subconsciously at first, and then shook his head again and again, but he dared not admit that this kind of thought had the meaning of discrimination against women.

Shi Xiuli looked at her watch and said softly, "It's almost time, I'm going to invite Secretary Tian, ​​you guys talk first."

The mayor of Shi Dai walked a long way, Zhao Gongbo came back to his senses, and couldn't help complaining to Yang Rui: "The bully nephew, you are not righteous, you know that he is the new mayor, why can't you say hello to Uncle Zhao in advance?"

Yang Rui said happily: "I just found out, how to greet you in advance? Also, I just waved to you, why did you pretend not to see it? If you don't pretend, where is the embarrassment?"

Zhao Gongbo was choked back, and felt a little more comfortable. He grabbed Yang Rui who was about to walk into the meeting room: "Wait a minute, nephew, uncle has two things to ask you."

Yang Rui stood still and took out a cigarette by the way. Just now he held back in Shi Dai's office, but at the same time it aroused his craving for cigarettes.

The two of them went to a secluded place outside, and Zhao Gongbo told Yang Rui about the embarrassment he encountered.

"You mean someone in your village wants to target you, but they are only willing to hide in the dark and dare not show up?"

Zhao Gongbo nodded firmly.

Yang Rui said with a relaxed smile: "You little boy, why worry?"

Zhao Gongbo's spirit was lifted, and his expectant gaze stayed on Yang Rui's face.

"Aren't they fueling the flames with the old idea that the villagers don't want to spend money on drinking water? You turn the villagers' thinking around and see how those young people are still jumping around?"

Zhao Gongbo sighed, and his expression darkened: "That's the reason, but those villagers' thoughts are not easy to change. I talked to them earnestly for a long time, but in the end, I whispered behind my back that I was playing tricks with your bully. Do you think it's annoying or not?"

Our Gangnan Village also needs to change the villagers' notion that they don't want to spend money on water... Yang Rui thought for a while, smiled lightly, patted Zhao Gongbo on the shoulder, and said: "Don't bother with this matter anymore, let me handle it."

The younger generation patted the elder on the shoulder, which was originally a rude gesture, but Zhao Gongbo readily accepted it, not only did not feel that there was anything wrong, but a warm current was born in his heart.

……

in the conference room.

The gossip discussion about the villain Gangnan Village bully is still going on.

A 40-year-old village chief was complaining about Chen Cangwei: "What is the bully capable of? Isn't it just a few more stinky money than others? People nowadays are really snobbish. Village chief Chen has done so many good things for Gangnan Village, but in the end he was defeated by a few meaningless promises. It's sad!"

Beside him, Village Chief Li Chaoyang of Xiawan Village echoed, "That's right, that's right, you may not know how Village Chief Chen got into a relationship with that bully..."

As soon as this remark came out, Li Chaoyang immediately became the focus of attention.

Xiawan Village is next to Gangnan Village, and what Village Chief Li said is absolutely reliable.

Li Chaoyang's vanity was greatly satisfied. After a little brewing, he got enough of the taste of the focus person. The man cleared his throat and began to speak: "Chen Cangwei has a little daughter who is very handsome. The bully is naturally salivating when he sees it..."

Another village chief couldn't wait to intervene: "The bully brought Chen Cangwei's daughter into harm's way?"

Li Chaoyang let out a muffled cough, expressing his dissatisfaction.

After the interjecting village chief was condemned by everyone, Li Chaoyang continued: "Don't use your brain to think about it. If it is really a disaster, can Chen Cangwei allow that bully to go unpunished? The truth is, the bully didn't know what tricks he used to make Chen Cangwei's little girl fall in love with him. The two discussed about elopement, but Chen Cangwei found out..."

On the side, Jiang Hongliang slammed the table and scolded angrily: "How can a young man with this kind of character be qualified to be the head of a village?"

The village chiefs were about to agree, when suddenly the door of the meeting room opened, and a handsome young man appeared in everyone's sight.

With a smile on his face, the young man said mysteriously:
"It's more than that. Let me tell you, that bully is unreasonable. He beat Village Chief Li for no reason."

Li Chaoyang's face turned dark, what the hell, when did I ever get beaten up by a bully?
Looking at it again, my heart couldn't help but flutter.

I haven't seen him for a few years, but the bully's appearance has changed a lot, and he almost didn't recognize him.

Zhao Gongbo followed into the house, gloating at Li Chaoyang, Xiawan Village is next to Gangnan Village, don't you know what kind of person that bully is?Knowing that they are still chewing their tongues behind their backs, what is the difference between this and dung beetles walking on the street?
For the sake of you and my brother for many years, I will give you two words, old brother.

Zhao Gongbo smiled at Li Chaoyang, and uttered two words very clearly: "You deserve it!"

Yang Rui came to Jiang Hongliang's side with a smile on his face, bowed politely, and said at the same time: "You have been on the battlefield, and you are an out-and-out old hero. I, Yang Rui, should respect you as an old man."

Afterwards, the corners of his mouth twitched slightly, and he smiled arrogantly, and said again: "However, you are not qualified to judge what kind of character I am, and whether I am qualified to be the village head of Gangnan Village. In peaceful times, the most important thing is to develop the economy. I have made a solemn promise to the 260 seven households in Gangnan Village. Within three years, each family will have an annual income of more than [-] yuan. Old hero, do you dare to say such a promise?"

Jiang Hongliang snorted coldly.

What kind of nonsense promise, it's just bragging, so what if you can't realize it, maybe you can be arrested and shot?

Yang Rui smiled indifferently, and continued: "If I break my promise, I, Yang Rui, will go to your Daping Village to plead guilty. Three miles outside the village, I will crawl into your Daping Village on my knees, but if I do it, old hero, shouldn't you also show something? For example, give the position of village chief to someone more suitable..."
